Elite Force aka Shack at Burning Man 2013, one of our regular DJ's and a blinding set by him at this years Burning Man festival in Nevada, one of these years i'll get my finger out and head over with the crew, dunno how i'd feel about living with a sandy chuff for 5 days though?, i've got shacks set from this year's Wickerman festival but some of the tracks are not yet released so you'll have to keep an eye on his soundcould page if you want it.

Meat Katie aka Mark Pember is a sweetie despite his rather unnerving stare, one of our frequent flyers up here and if you get the chance ask him about his desire to own a farm, dunno if i'd trust him with animals though?.

Mark looking very delicate after last years festival where he over indulged during his previous nights set and forgot to sleep , my bro is trying to cajole him into drinking the hogarden and whisky chaser as there was still 24hrs of festival before it finished.

Heh, I got a new (ish) car.. it had a crap stereo, I fitted my other one from another car last week and I had to look out old cd's (had a cassette stereo with no cd player in the car for 12 years :O) so I found napster and limewire downloads galore and I've been listening to Meat Katie on one of them. Some of the stuff I can't even remember.

Edit: I'll pay for a Meat Katie download when I get around to it :::cough:: :O)

Don't worry martin, Meat can't remember **** all from the past few years either , yet again this year he kicked the arse out of the friday night/sat morning scene and faded fast on saturday night, this was only taken at 2.30am on the sunday morning as Nadia and him tried to get a bit shut-eye in the back of the tent, not a chance!.

We had Dave Clark as our headline act this year, he certainly lives up to his reputation with regard to his Ego but he did draw a capacity crowd with hundreds of folk outside the tent trying to get in, do i think he was worth it?.....Hmmm i dunno?..... I preferred our headliner Darren Emmerson the previous year - he was a genuinely nice bloke, very relaxed and a good laugh.

Dave Clark this year

My fav of our line up was Rebecca Vasmant who closed our tent at 2am to 3.30am on the sunday morning, she was f'ing good! and another genuinely nice/decent DJ.

I owe you one for letting me ride your Pace pride n' joy back in 2008 so if you fancy a weekend of it next year give me a shout and i'll get you on our guest list for a weekend ticket.

Ahh, that was but a scratch....i stuck a lollipop in the hole and i was good to go for another day

The festival started off small 10 odd years ago wi 1500 folk but last year it sold out for the first time wi 18.000, we've been doing it since the start as it's only 5 miles from our town, our dance tent is (obviously ) pretty much full to capacity and the only "scene" to hang out in, Utah Saints, Darren Emmerson. Dave Clarke, Elite Force, Loops of Fury, Dylan Rhymes, Lee Coombs, Annie Nightingale, Plump DJ's, Krafty Kutz, Luis Osbourne (yeah - ozzy's son - surprisingly good)....just some of the folk we've had play for us so if you and yer missus fancy a weekend down south next year then get in touch a few months beforehand and i'll sort out a couple o' tickets for you.

Wow, the area must be a mare during it! There's four in that tent I'd consider going for just to see them. Compared to RockNess up here, where there's rarely one act I'd like to see. I don't think there was any I fancied seeing last year at RockNess.

If that was his private party out on his farm then nah....it's a 7hr drive from up here in Galloway and work commitments/taking into consideration with my sanity and mental health i decided it was a bad idea, His boat parties run on the Thames in July are well worth going to though .
